im becoming increasingly fustraited with my camera. I just finished shooting for the new open challange and out of aorund 50 shots only 5 were useable. All of the others were out of focus. I think the focus assist or possibly the camera motor is going. I know im capable of much better but I feel so limited by my equipment. grrrrrr.

sorry to ramble here, but i needed to get it out.

when i sold cams, HPs were infamous for failing.

you can get a good upgrade for $300-400, don't go HP again. canon.. nikon... one of those.

I know the feeling. My camera sucks at low light pictures! If I do not have enough light I get HORRIBLE noise and a blurry picture everytime. I have to add grain to the image to camoflage it, neat image or noise reducers are not enough. All I want for Christmas is a Canon 20D!

Im most likely going to get a nikon S1 for a p&s and depending how much $$$ i can scrape together Im going to get either a nikon d50 or a canon rebel XT. But thats going to be a few months off... gotta pay off the holiday bills 1st, and suck it up and deal with my HP for the time being. I just hate that I know its going to be several months off when its driving me this crazy now

...oh wait, did you say "Just need to vent"?

Cheer up. Good cameras are always coming down in price. Price comes down, your skills go up, it's all good eventually.
